THIS WAS THE KING’S FINAL RIDE

Elvis Presley's final choice.
A 1977 Cadillac Seville

One of the most comfortable cars Elvis Presley acquired. It was
the last Cadillac he bought, and he passed away the same year.

Unlike the El dorado, this vehicle was a symbol of luxury and sophistication.

FINAL EPISODE OF TV SERIES ON THIS DAY

8 things you might not know about the M*A*S*H finale

On February 28, 1983, the celebrated sitcom M*A*S*H bows out
after 11 seasons, airing a special two-and-a-half hour episode
watched by 77 percent of the television viewing audience. It
was the largest percentage ever to watch a single TV show up
to that time.

After earning consistently high ratings throughout its 11-year
run, M*A*S*H enjoyed enduring popularity in the following
decades, as it became one of the world’s most syndicated
shows. It also spawned an unsuccessful spin-off, After MASH,
which CBS aired from 1983 to 1985.
